Anatomy of a Tear-Jerker: Very cool article on why songs give you chills
IainB:
Thanks for that mouser. Very interesting.
Fred Nerd:
See if this one gets you -- Our Town by Iris Dement. It definitely does me. I think her voice is doing that thing the essay talks about:

Could the same be said of "inspirational" music?
Like some of the old-time hymns, modern "epic" soundtrack tunes, northern European power metal, Greensleeves fer pete's sake...
Hmmm... maybe this explains why, even as a die-hard metal fan, I get bored with much of it unless it has a good melody (vocal or instrumental) somewhere in the midst of all the chaos; I said a good melody.
Good article, could use a few more details, but thought-provoking.
